    Awesome, thanks for the link.  One more question: in my last playthrough, when using Two Handed, I found I rarely ever felt the need to block.  Just how often do you find yourself using that skill?  Did it level fairly organically, or were you ever going out of your way to level it up?

    A lot of where the leveling came from was from bashing. In open combat, bashing is one of the one things keeping you alive. My other two handers often struggled because they just went in swingin' and got torn up sometimes. Bashing dragons is especially effective.

    Rarely block with a two-hander? Adept I'm guessing? On the harder difficulties I found blocking, bashing, and especially dodging power attacks thanks to Quick Reflexes invaluable on my two-hander.

    I didn't have much problem not blocking or using quick reflexes. I bashed sometimes but most of the time just keep a little distance and most melee enemies can't hit you. Yes this was on Master btw.

    Yeah on my Dervish and Dragoon, I mainly played on adept and expert without really dead set on a certain difficulty. This build is on master, and block makes a HUGE difference.

    Just the catman build I was looking for. Definitely a + 1 for me. Trying it now :D

    Just noticed the asterisks next to a few perks.  What exactly are those meant to denote?

    Key perks for build specific battle tactics.

    Ah, thanks.  I just created my character to play this build.  I'm pretty eager to see how it turns out.
